Great Spot

Our stay at Bryn Llan Cottage in Llanrug was one of the most enjoyable and memorable getaways we've had. The cottage is absolutely charming, beautifully kept, and spotless. It felt warm, welcoming, and peaceful from the moment we stepped inside. Everything was thoughtfully set up, with all the comforts of home and lovely little touches that made a big difference. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and the garden was a lovely quiet spot to sit and take in the surroundings.What really made the experience stand out were the hosts. They are some of the sweetest and friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel right at home. They took the time to welcome us personally, shared some wonderful local recommendations. Throughout our stay they were always kind, attentive, and respectful of our space, but always happy to help or have a friendly chat.Their warmth and care added something truly special to the trip. It didn’t feel like just renting a cottage, it felt like we were being looked after by genuinely lovely people who really care about making their guests feel comfortable.The location is ideal for exploring North Wales, with Snowdon, Caernarfon Castle, and beautiful beaches all within a short drive. After our adventures, returning to the calm and cosiness of the cottage each evening was a real joy.We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and very grateful. We would absolutely stay again.

Fabulous place to stay

We fell I love with this cottage when we walked through the door . It’s was clean and well equipped with everything you would need. A wonderful peaceful setting with the hills around you. Lots to do in the surrounding area and a great village pub just down the road from the cottage. We had a wonderful week in this idyllic setting and would highly recommend Wern Cottage.Great communication with the hosts.

A rural retreat.

The property is lovely and in a pleasant spot although right at the road side( very narrow and not much traffic ) so still quiet. We had some trouble locating the key which is beside the back, not front door which is quite hidden. Inside it is well appointed, cosy and clean. Great bathroom and kitchen and the lounge was adequate for two,of us. Some problems putting the tv on But we managed it o the third night. But al tv’s seem endlessly complicated these days. Progress seems to make things more difficult. My only real problem was the larger bedroom where the bed took almost all the space. There was no room for a bedside table for my book, glasses, hearing aid charger or watch.. Difficult for anyone I should think but at 89 I found it tricky to have to get up for everything I needed. But the bed was comfortable! I. Cannot imagine a couple in that room with nowhere to put clothes or luggage. I think it would be better to just have a single bed and let it to singles.
